Black Preachers And Catholic Priests Are Up In Arms! UPDATE: OBAMA SAYS MICHELLE DOESN'T GO DOWN FAR ENUFF? WHAT THE WHAT???

What kind of man with any respect for his wife, his underage female daughters, his momma-n-law or deceased momma... would get in front of a group of "strangers" and publicly denigrate his wife and expose her private bedroom capers–– even in the cloak of a "joke"? 

Headlines:

 

Aside from this being too much information [TMI], to put a sistah's reputation on front street–– like President Obama did at the gay fundraiser in California... and in front of the whole world... was nasty and degradative to all women universal. 

What The What??? should I expect from a man who chose rapper Jay-Z's song: "I got 99 problems but a b---- ain't one" as his signature campaign song in 2008? 

N.O.W., Women's Advocacy Groups, National Women's Rights Organizations.... where is the outrage and condemnation of this behavior???  

*crickets*  

Whoever told President Obama to co-sign/promote two of the riskiest, re-election-killing-issues: Contraceptives and same-sex marriage ... were truly out-of-touch!  

Months from now, when history is written and those 'wise' political Monday morning quarterbacks give their assessments regarding how and when the President's "Forward" election strategy took a turn for the worse, it will be noted that it was in the Spring of 2012, when clergy in both the Catholic Church and the Black Church declared Obama's over-reaching social positions had gone too far.  

As if a recent lawsuit against the Obama administration was not bad enough, this ad, which was sponsored on behalf of the Catholic Church is B.R.U.T.A.L. on so many levels.

And, it goes without saying that true Black Christians cannot, "have not" and will not support his same sex marriage position. Consequently, many Blacks who voted for the President in 2008 are abandoning support of him in droves. http://bit.ly/N6K89U 

Whose job was it to tell the President that gay marriage remains a hot-button issue, and a major non-starter conversation in the Black community?

It's no wonder that Gov. Mitt Romney, who six weeks ago, was trailing the President in national polls, is now running neck-and-neck with him, and Democrats are now saying out loud what they only dared to whisper last week: "Romney could very well be the 45th President of the United States".  

Berryhill's Prayer For Our Nation On Capitol Hill

I was honored to offer Prayer For Our Nation on May 8, 2012 in the historic Statuary Hall in Washington DC, on behalf of all pastors' spouses, clergy, ministers and preacher's wives in this country. (below is the link) 

My Prayer For Our Nation begins at the 1:21 mark on the clip.

Catholic Bishops Slam Obama Over Abortion/Birth Control... But Black Faith Leaders? *Crickets* !!!UPDATE!!!!!

Having already angered the Jews on his position to recognize a Palestinian state with borders reflecting pre-1948, and he is also on the 'outs' with Muslims––especially the leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan... now, President Barack Obama has really stepped in it BIG Time!  


Seems now that the Catholics are preparing to go to war against the President for his administration's new health care law requiring all employers, including religious institutions, to pay for birth control, sterilization and abortion drugs.

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/02/06/catholic-league-poised-to-go-to-war-with-obama-over-mandatory-birth-control-payments/ 

There must be a strategy to this move.  So what is it? Is Obama wanting to lose this election in November on purpose?   Is he tired of the job?  Has he had enough of DC, and, maybe in his passive/aggressive-intentional way, he is really trying to piss off those coalitions who supported him in '08... so they won't re-elect him this Fall?  What other reason could there be for Obama implementing this provocative, mandatory law eight months before a major election, where his numbers are slipping––particularly among Independents and Blue-collar white voters, many of which are Catholics?  


But the bigger question that begs to be answered regarding this law is where are the Black faith leaders and what are their positions relative to this?  

It's a fact that Black church attendees are generally more socially and morally conservative than most.  Truth be told, African Americans are not big advocates of gay marriages.  Neither are we big proponents of abortions––even though abortion numbers have been going up in the Black community over the last decade.  But, by and large, Black girls keep their out-of-wedlock babies... even if grandmama has to help in the rearing of those children.


Reproduction issues are 'major' in the Catholic religion as well. So it cannot be a surprise to the Obama administration that the head of the American Catholic League, Bill Donohue, has thrown down the gauntlet, even coming out declaring war in the streets against President Obama:

“This is going to be fought out with lawsuits, with court decisions, and, dare I say it, maybe even in the streets,” Donohue said.

So now, the eyes of America now focus on where the Black pastors stand on this health care law controversy.  Will our leaders turn a blind eye and ear to one of the most serious, significant components of this new healthcare law or will they hold fast to a cornerstone  tenet of the Christian faith: the sanctity of life? *crickets* *crickets*

UPDATE: Catholics may cause an Obama retreat!
